A New Year

My first thought... I sure hope 2011 doesn't suck as much as 2010... but in hindsight - as hard as this year was - and it was tough... there were still so many moments that came out of the year that were good and fun and such a blessing! Life goes on - no matter how bad you are feeling... kinda' like today...

You would think that being a somewhat responsible adult - I would know better - yeah... and I do - but I just wanted to let my hair down in a safe environment and enjoy the evening - lesson learned though... never let someone else mix your drinks! I swear the last drink had to be pure alcohol - but my own fault - I drank it anyway... it was still a good evening with friends - until 2am came around and thus began the multiple trips to the bathroom - and then this morning when I was driving home from my friends house I broke the golden rule of my vehicle - no puking in my car. It was not pleasant - but as I stated earlier - even as bad as you are feeling - life still goes on - usually with a little help from your friends and the amazing Grace of God! And life did need to go on - I had promised the boys that I would drive them up to the LA Harbor for their 2 week cruise. Which as hard as it was to get my tush over to their house to pick them up - it was a Beautiful day! And I certainly enjoyed being out it for a couple of hours - before I came back home to sleep off the rest of the day :)

On our way up to the cruise port - my friend Chris commented that he hoped they would have good fish on the cruise because he wanted to eat healthy... then continued to comment on all the candy, brownies and chips they had packed in their bags! God Bless them both!

Looking back though - I have been blessed with amazing people in my life that love and support me - lend me a shoulder to cry on or enjoy a good laugh with me - God is so good - all the time and here's to a Blessed 2011 - no matter what happens.

PS - The background picture is from the Sea of Galilee - it was so peaceful there... and thanks Jan for the inspiration to change things up on the blog layout - and welcome back to the blogging world - I've missed reading about the adventures!

Our blessings are so amazing...both large and small and quite frankly, some things that I would initially think are a curse really do work through to bless in some way - even if small, but still significant! The blog upgrade is looking sharp.
